FLIPPeru Day 1

At the end of day 1, I thought to share my day with all the readers. First, landing in Lima at midnight didn’t give me an opportunity to explore the city, but when I started my day wearing a professional attire to meet Ministry of Education, Lima, I felt that I might have a big day today. Yes, I did. When we reached at Ministry of Education, the Peruvian officials greeted and welcomed us with smile and love. We (group of 12 people from Centennial College Food Science Technology program) had exchanged the views on developing technical aspects for the partner institution in Chiclayo. After the meeting, we had an opportunity in clicking a picture with the Peruvian officials and ended our afternoon. Second, had an amazing lunch at a local Chinese-Peruvian restaurant and moved ourselves to explore the city and adapt the culture. Finally, at the end of the day, I have learned one thing – People have high values and they are always welcoming. With excitement to start day 2 and tiredness of day 1, the first night at Lima, Peru ends.
